Does Cyclic ADP-Ribose (cADPR) Activate the Non-selective Cation Channel TRPM2? [PDF]
TRPM2 is a non-selective, Ca2+-permeable cation channel widely expressed in immune cells. It is firmly established that the channel can be activated by intracellular adenosine 5′-diphosphoribose (ADPR).

Inhibition of CD38/Cyclic ADP-ribose Pathway Protects Rats against Ropivacaine-induced Convulsion. [PDF]
Background: The CD38/cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) pathway plays a role in various central nervous system diseases and in morphine tolerance, but its role in local anesthetic intoxication is unknown.

Cyclic ADP-Ribose and Heat Regulate Oxytocin Release via CD38 and TRPM2 in the Hypothalamus during Social or Psychological Stress in Mice. [PDF]
Hypothalamic oxytocin (OT) is released into the brain by cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) with or without depolarizing stimulation. Previously, we showed that the intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) that seems to trigger OT release can be ...

Maintenance of NAD+ Homeostasis in Skeletal Muscle during Aging and Exercise
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a versatile chemical compound serving as a coenzyme in metabolic pathways and as a substrate to support the enzymatic functions of sirtuins (SIRTs), poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1), and cyclic ADP ribose

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD) Metabolism as a Relevant Target in Cancer
NAD+ is an important metabolite in cell homeostasis that acts as an essential cofactor in oxidation–reduction (redox) reactions in various energy production processes, such as the Krebs cycle, fatty acid oxidation, glycolysis and serine biosynthesis ...

Crystal structures and snapshots along Tpt1-catalyzed phosphate transfer from nucleic acid to NAD. [PDF]
Tpt1/TRPT1/KptA family proteins are evolutionarily conserved in all three domains of life. In fungi and plants, Tpt1 transfers 2’-PO4 2- from tRNA splice junction to NAD+, which is the final step of tRNA maturation and is critical for the function of ...

A Cell-Permeant Mimetic of NMN Activates SARM1 to Produce Cyclic ADP-Ribose and Induce Non-apoptotic Cell Death. [PDF]
Summary: SARM1, an NAD-utilizing enzyme, regulates axonal degeneration. We show that CZ-48, a cell-permeant mimetic of NMN, activated SARM1 in vitro and in cellulo to cyclize NAD and produce a Ca2+ messenger, cADPR, with similar efficiency as NMN ...
